The Mythic, Tarot & Fairy Tale musings of Lisa Hunt

Once again, the studio hums with life!

lisahuntart | June 16, 2011

Taking a month off from studio work was not easy to do, but it was essential. Not only did I clean up and organize my surrounds, but I unclogged the brain drain and allowed the mind to clear, cool and recover from years of pushing through my deadlines…

Sketching and painting my fine feathered friends for “new project”

lisahuntart | March 25, 2011

After the intensity that accompanied the Ghosts and Spirits Tarot work, my new project provides the perfect calm that I now need to refill my creative well. Birds have always been supporting and sometimes leading subjects in my work…

Battlefield Ghosts: Documenting the Painting Process & a Little Stop-Motion too!

lisahuntart | September 8, 2010

Many of you may not realize that I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Animation back when few schools offered it. I graduated at the top of my class, not because I had the greatest animations but because I integrated my watercolor paintings within a 3D environment. My work was different and bold and was demonstrative of a wee bit of creative rebellion. I did not follow any portfolio model, but rather I set out to create my own…

Battlefield Ghosts: Documenting raw, unfiltered creative energy

Here’s the second drawing in what is becoming a series of time-lapse photography experiments. Drawing Battlefield Ghosts was 25% preplanned, 75% spontaneous creative outpouring. As I worked on this drawing…

Ghosts & Spirits–cranking out the creepies and beyond

pussinboots | August 13, 2010

In a recent Facebook post of my pencil rendition of Shellycoat, several FB friends suggested I do a time lapse of the art progress; a sort of artist-at-work video. Having been a former art teacher who had engaged in demos routinely, I like the idea of sharing my process in this suggested format. I will definitely be looking into it…

Music inspires art, art inspires music

lisahuntart | June 21, 2010

When is the last time you heard a song that transported you back to a book you were reading, or a romance you were experiencing or a painting that you were working on? For me, music awakens the senses in ways that deliver immediate imagery…

The Savannnah, GA Pirates’ House

lisahuntart | May 9, 2010

During a recent trip to an historical little bed & breakfast near Savannah, the “most haunted city in America”, my husband and I saw a ghost. And it wasn’t during a ghost tour or walk through a haunted cemetery or during a seance.

Into the deep, dark wood: Forest symbolism and fairy tales

pussinboots | February 26, 2010

Lions, tigers and bears oh my! The mysterious forest is full of unknowns and teeming with mysterious life. As a symbol of the unconscious, it is a place inhabited by wild things, often obscured by the shadows of tree branches and layered with the remnants of seasons gone by. . .

Creating the Fairy Tale Tarot: From Idea to Publication (pt 2)

lisahuntart | April 3, 2009

I’ve been using the same basic illustrative methodology since my late teens. That is not to say that I haven’t deviated from my technical repertoire, but the basic formula from initial sketch to finished painting has pretty much remained the same. First comes the sketch…
